HPWREN, with its partners, created four network applications videos

Collaborations with Native Americans, high-end astronomy research, hydrology sensors, and research on energy efficient wireless sensor networks are the basis for these four videos. They are encoded in MPEG-4, which may require a video player such as mplayer, vlc, or quicktime.

This video describes expanded collaborations between HPWREN and Native Americans in the areas of environmental sensors and high-resolution network cameras, via the Southern California Tribal Digital Village network. Additional considerations include and increased focus on green energy, by augmenting solar powered sites with wind generators.

Water quality assessments are becoming more and more critical in Southern California and elsewhere. This video describes ongoing activities related to HPWREN-enabled real-time hydrology sensors at San Diego State University's Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve. Both permanent and mobile approaches are being discussed.
